A tall SCHEURICH KERAMIK vase with a fiery orange, black, and deep red fat-lava glaze on a beautifully urn-shaped tapered body.


SCHEURICH KERAMIK had its origins in a joint venture launched in 1928 by Alois Scheurich (d. 1968) and his cousin Fridolin Greulich in the small town of Schneeberg near the Czech border in Saxony—wholesaling glass, porcelain, and ceramics. The business was moved to the market community of Kleinheubach in the northeast corner of Bavaria in 1938, and ten years later the partners began to produce household ceramics of their own, selling them under the name Scheurich & Greulich. The partnership was dissolved in 1954, and Alois founded Scheurich GmbH & Co. KG to continue production on his own. The new company employed Germany's first electrical tunnel kiln.

The celebrated designer Heinz Siery was recruited as SCHEURICH’s lead modeler the following year in 1955. In addition to creating his own extensive range of shapes, Siery helped the firm develop its overarching product strategy. SCHEURICH would manufacture an assortment of simple forms that could be made cheaply and then decorated in a great variety of glazes. The natural result was an enormous range of merchandise that was both diverse and easily adaptable. The approach proved altogether successful.

Low prices combined with a dizzying array of attractive designs translated into millions in sales for SCHEURICH, and the company remained one of the largest manufacturers of ceramics in Germany through the 1980s. To keep pace with the public's ever-changing tastes, décors were adapted twice a year. Some of the better-known décors include the hand-painted Montignac (1972–1973); Amsterdam (1974–1975), with its onion motif (Zwiebeldekor); Fabiola, with its flowing, brown-red top glaze; and Jura, with its fossil, or snail, motif.

Among the more famous components of the décors used to finish mid-century ceramics are the unusually thick, often flowing glazes nicknamed "fat lava." (Strictly speaking, "fat" is something of a misnomer, generally thought to be a careless translation of the German word groß—meaning "large," or "thick"—referring here to the depth of the glaze, how much it rises above the surface of the clay, not its viscosity.) The term has proven slippery. Some conflate it with volcanic glazing generally, where the use of certain ingredients causes controlled, gaseous explosions, producing holes in the glazes that are visually suggestive of lava (or the surface of the moon); some apply it wholesale to all German pottery from the mid-century! Regardless, fat lava glazes were very popular in the '60s and '70s, and SCHEURICH produced many stunning examples.

SCHEURICH KERAMIK used white clay exclusively. Objects were always formed by mold and were fired at 1000 degrees Celsius. A minimum of 500 pieces were made of every item that was produced. Identifying marks were embossed on the base. Model numbers are three digits long and followed by the height of the object in whole (in a few instances, half) centimeters, usually with a dash separating the two components. Most SCHEURICH items have no embossed company mark. If noted, the country of origin appears as either W. GERMANY or WEST GERMANY (occasionally abbreviated to GERM). Many SCHEURICH items retain their original foil or paper labels.

SCHEURICH KERAMIK exported more ceramics than any other German company. Some lines were specifically manufactured for foreign markets. Indeed, the historical distributions of particular forms and glazes suggest that some were produced for specific countries. The bottoms of exported vases are often embossed with the word "FOREIGN" rather than "WEST GERMANY." Not surprisingly, some vases so marked wound up on the home market.

In addition to vases, SCHEURICH's mid-century output included flower pots, ashtrays, piggy banks, candle holders, beer mugs, buffet clocks, and wall plaques. By the late 1980s, the shapes and colors of its vases had become rather pedestrian; this work is not attractive to collectors. As a subsidiary of Sheurich-Group GmbH, the European market leader for indoor and outdoor planters, SCHEURICH KERAMIK is still in operation today.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
